Default KRC PS tank

This is a pic of a KRC power steering reservoir/tank. The AN10 outlet is made of about 2mm to 3mm aluminum
and poorly designed. If the line is tightened the sealing surface will just push up making it very difficult to seal
and it will get worse the more times the pipe is reconnected. Their pump on the other hand seems well built.
I notice that TCP and MD no longer supply this tank and use the Billet Specialties unit, which I replaced this
unit with. The BS unit is much more solidly built.

You could clean up that lip with a metal file and a little time going slow or just ebay it.

Cut it off and weld on a new one, or have it done.

Exactly why we need to be careful about what we buy on eBay..................................

But seriously, that would not fix the issue, the sealing surface will just push up further
as the whole neck is too thin.
